Vertigo can feel similar to motion sickness. Patients generally refer to vertigo as âfeeling dizzy.â Vertigo is not the same as lightheadedness. The most common causes of vertigo are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), Meniereâs disease, and acute onset vertigo. Treatment depends on the cause. Popular treatments include special medications called vestibular blocking agents. The outlook for vertigo-associated disease (VAD) depends on the cause.
